Before I even started this film I knew I was going to like it, but I didn’t expect to love it this much. From start to finish I was very entertained. Some of the most well choreographed fight scenes I’ve seen while having a compelling story honestly. This film took a turn that I wasn’t expecting but it worked out so well by the end. There’s one scene that will be playing in my head for the next week. Probably gonna have to check out the rest of these even though I heard they aren’t as good. Already a favorite of mine.

Great watch with the goat AustinD316!!!

Final Destination Bloodlines 1q4s64 2025 - ★★★★

Fri, 16 May 2025 09:12:58 +1200

I am so glad I decided to watch this franchise, because this was just a blast for me. So entertaining and has maybe the most brutal kill in the entire franchise. Probably my 2nd favorite as well, it just doesn’t have Alex Browning or Clear Rivers, but I did really like this cast overall. Seeing this in Dolby was awesome too. I hope they keep making these honestly.

Not gonna talk too much about this but I had a blast with this film. It’s so surprising to me because all of these characters i didn’t care for a whole lot besides Bucky maybe but they worked together so well in this film which is weird(ghost is still mid asf tho). Sentry is one of my favorite MCU villains in a while too. He was so cold especially towards the end. Really liked this so gives me some hope for Fantastic Four.

Warfare 665k3b 2025 - ★★★★★

Sat, 12 Apr 2025 09:32:10 +1200

Whenever I think about war, it’s not always similar to this. The true horrors of war is shown here and I can’t imagine actually being there in person to see this. So haunting and chilling, especially through its sound design. The constant muffled screams, the constant suspense, it just never stops. So many different images made me look away it was so disturbing. I loved that this is entirely based off of these soldiers memories as well. That adds to the realness and makes it even more terrifying to think about. Truly one of the best war films in a long time. This will be on my mind for a while.

An American Werewolf in London 2z2d70 1981 - ★★★ (contains spoilers)

Tue, 18 Mar 2025 10:07:39 +1300

This review may contain spoilers.

My return back to movies and this app!!!

This was a film I’ve wanted to watch for quite some time now. I just sadly found this to be a little disappointing. I was hooked almost immediately as I was drawn into the world and the atmosphere. But as the film went on and after the death of Jack Goodman in particular, I started losing interest. I never really cared for the relationship with the nurse either. It didn’t hold much emotional weight for me especially at the end when David died. I was kinda like “oh well”. I still had a fine time with this though so I’m not mad at this rating just wanted to like it more.

Rear Window 12t5t 1954 - ★★★★

Fri, 13 Dec 2024 08:23:48 +1300

Another Hitchcock down and I loved this one. Such a unique and interesting concept that was executed really well. The setting of this film was amazing and I love how we stay in 1 location. The way Hitchcock creates suspense within the camera work was genius. There was almost always something going on in the background that just added to the main suspect. Stellar performances here as well. Stewart shines like always but even really liked Grace Kelly too. So impressive for its time. Certain parts moved slowly which is fine it just kinda threw off some of the pacing. But overall I really liked this and could honestly be a 4.5.

Do the Right Thing 183x3e 1989 - ★★½

Wed, 11 Dec 2024 11:35:32 +1300

My introduction into Spike Lee’s filmography wasn’t all that exciting to say the least… A very powerful watch no doubt. But one that really never got my full attention. It really does have a lot to say. It speaks volume on the culture at the time and the different themes it’s portraying. It’s just there wasn’t anything that interesting to me and after a while it got tiring. The performances all around were incredible for sure. Definitely can’t speak negatively about them. Same thing goes for the camera work. So many incredible shots throughout. I definitely notice Spike Lee’s style in this and could end up liking some of his other films, but this one wasn’t much of a fan of. I respect this film a lot and appreciate it, but unfortunately very disappointed right now.

Your Name. 4j2m57 2016 - ★★★★½

Sat, 30 Nov 2024 13:08:33 +1300

Normally takes a lot for me to love a romance as much as this, but this complex, unique and emotional relationship was one that I loved. Visually stunning in every sense. My favorite looking animated film outside of spider-verse. Most of the times with romances it takes too long for me to get invested in the relationship and whenever a pivotal moment happens, it’s too late for me to care. But I was hooked almost immediately with these 2 characters. Their relationship was done beautifully and it almost made me tear up by the end. Definitely confusing at times along with some plot holes, but that’s really my only gripes I have. Really need to watch some more anime now.

Rope 6g334 1948 - ★★½

Thu, 28 Nov 2024 13:08:02 +1300

Never really found myself fully invested into this one. I thought it started off pretty strong, setting up well for the film and building some tension. But then when everyone starts to arrive and they start to talk about random shit I was bored out of my mind. Dialogue driven films aren’t my thing either so that doesn’t help. There was still some really strong dialogue and really good acting. The ending I thought was great too. Don’t really see myself revisiting this tbh.

Gladiator II 2n3v35 2024 - ★★★★

Tue, 26 Nov 2024 15:09:12 +1300

Glad to say that I was very entertained!!

I’m glad to say that 24 years later we have a very worthy sequel in my eyes. The first Gladiator is one of my favorite films ever and I’m happy with the result of this sequel. A big conversation has been the absence of Crowe in this film and what he brought to the first, but I think Mescal did a great job. Not near the level of Crowe for obvious reasons, but it doesn’t need to be. Denzel did his regular thing. Another incredible performance from him. The rest of the cast did good too, some points were kinda goofy with Quinn and something felt a little off with Pedro for me idk exactly what but just maybe not fitting at times. Lots of callbacks to the first, some that I liked and some that I didn’t. Really not many problems with this just doesn’t fully compare to the first. Definitely recommend seeing it if you love the first.

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre 2g3k4g 1974 - ★★★

Thu, 3 Oct 2024 06:24:09 +1300

A film that I’ve been wanting to rewatch for a while, and I thought what better time than October. And my thoughts really haven’t changed. I originally gave this a 4 when I first watched it about a year ago. It aged really poorly for me and now I think I’m stuck with a 3. It feels like something I really should like, I just don’t. Scenes that are supposed to feel tension or build up tension just doesn’t for me. I don’t feel much of anything. Could have to do with the characters. I mean it comes to a point where I’m cheering for leatherface and the rest of the family!!! I of course can’t deny the impact that this film had, for the time it released and the horror genre itself. It has inspired so many films to date and has changed the horror genre. With that said I still think this is solid just nothing special imo.

Brief Spoilers ahead:

Another reason to why coming of age films are just some of the best out there. Just magnificent storytelling here, capturing what it’s like to grow up. You’re constantly changing, and it’s shown perfectly through the eyes of Chris. Being an awkward kid like Chris, you’ll always stick out in a crowd. Never really made true friends, but always had a true family. It just took him time to realize it. A reminder to never take your family for granted. I love how Chris isn’t the only person changing in this film. It’s really his entire family. His mom was such a standout too. Constantly being overshadowed by her mom, being told what’s right and what’s wrong. How she was the lesser sibling. The ending scene I think just perfectly sums up her as a character, and even more as a mother. Everyone just had such a strong bond with each other and I absolutely loved that. And it wasn’t always perfect, which truly shows the realness of it all. Incredible performances to add on to that. This is my favorite movie of this year and I really don’t see it changing. Might watch again next week.

After seeing all the mixed reviews in the past couple of days, I really wasn’t too sure on what to expect. Glad to say I really liked this. Lots to love here. Cailee Spaeny was incredible. Just keep getting more and more impressed by her after each and every performance. David Johnson was also incredible. VFX was amazing. So many impressive shots and I loved the sound mixing/design too. I was entertained pretty much throughout the entire runtime. Sadly the side characters weren’t particularly great. A lot of them just felt thrown in there. Other than those things didn’t have any other problems. And I loved the 3rd act.

This was probably my most anticipated M Night I have left to watch, along with unbreakable. Even though I wish I liked it a little more I’m happy. This one feels like he knows what he is doing and it’s actually directed well. Great cast and performances too. Didn’t connect with the characters too much which kind of hurt my rating but overall a good film!!! Could see myself rewatching this one.

Trap 1q3n1a 2024 - ★★½

Sun, 4 Aug 2024 10:32:08 +1200

Trap was a movie that had a very interesting premise that I had hope for, but it didn’t really work for me. There is a good amount to love here. Josh Hartnett was definitely the best part of this film. Amazing performance from him. This movie also looks really nice visually. There was also some scenes that I didn’t see coming and took me by surprise. And that’s about where I stop. The writing in this movie, especially when they are in the concert, is very lazy. The amount of plot conveniences is insane. It just constantly felt so uninspiring and kept putting me off. And the dialogue was unbelievably cringe at times. But that’s just what M Night does best! If you love M Night you’ll love this but if you don’t or are just mixed on him, you might not.

I feel like this movie was just made for me. Action is one of my favorite genres and this movie just shows it. My god there were some INSANE kills in this movie. One of them was probably the most brutal death I’ve witnessed. This is the raid but on a train basically. I was actually really interested by the story too and thought this had a lot of heart to it as well. I could’ve kept watching this for hours tbh. No doubt going to be one i rewatch a lot.

Fri, 26 Jul 2024 09:39:16 +1200

Not a single person in this world can change my view on this. I fucking loved this. From start to finish I was entertained. And that’s all I ask for from this film. And no the MCU isn’t “back”. There won’t be anything like this in the MCU again, so put that hope away. Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool and Hugh Jackman and Wolverine are 2 of the best comic book castings ever. They portray the character so well and do an incredible job every time. And the chemistry here is all I could ever ask for. I could watch them 2 just do random shit for hours straight. It just never bores me. The comedy doesn’t hold back here either. It honestly got almost crazier at times, completely unhinged. And I love that. That’s what I love about this entire trilogy. And the cameos are insane. No spoilers either so don’t worry. But yea I absolutely loved this. So satisfied right now.

Man, I’m very disappointed right now. I’ve only heard great things for the most part. I didn’t really go in with high expectations either. But this was just challenging to get through(sorry). I didn’t care whatsoever about any of these characters at all or their storylines. I hated the constant time jumps and flashbacks out of nowhere. It got tedious very fast. I thought the acting was great tho. Zendaya was very good in this. It just overall fell very flat for me and thought this was mid. Not the worst of the year at least.

This is just unbelievable. I’m trying to come up with something to say but just can’t. This so was fucking good I can’t get over it. I wanna go watch it again already. Nic Fucking Cage. Man he was so damn good in this. One of the best performances of the year. Every time he was on screen my heart rate skyrocketed. Such an unsettling performance. This took such a unique direction that I really wasn’t expecting. The entire 3rd part I was just so impressed by what they did. Wasn’t expecting it at all. Bravo to the writers on that. The best horror film of the decade so far and might just be a top 5 film of the decade in general. I really might see this again next week.

Overall I really liked this. Story was very interesting and didn’t realize this was a true story. I did feel the runtime at certain points as well, but it wasn’t too bad.

Once again, I feel like a dumbass for not watching this until now. It was always the runtime putting me off, but I should’ve realized how much I love war films and that I was probably going to love this. And it turns out I absolutely did. Probably a top 3-4 war film no doubt for me. Just something about films like these that really leave you drained. It was kind of like after I finished band of brothers. Just feel empty. That’s just the horror of war. And this is one of the most accurate depictions apparently too, which makes it even more haunting. I watched this on my laptop on a car ride at 3 different times so once I give an actual fair rewatch this will probably be a 5 for me.

I can’t believe I ever thought that. This is an all time high in filmmaking. This might just be tied with the first one for me now. It’s just unreal. This is the most visually stunning film I’ve seen. Cannot believe they pulled that off. Every scene is so beautiful to look at. My hype for Beyond is through the roof, like I need that NOW.

The acting was great all around. Not any bad performances or anything like that. Loved seeing the goat Norman Reedus appear. Wish he had a little more screen time, but I’m fine with what we got. The overall story was cool. Wish it was a bit longer cause some parts felt a bit rushed. All the characters were pretty cool and interesting tho. Also really liked the ending. Not much else to say.

I had the absolute pleasure of seeing this masterpiece in theaters today. I actually didn’t see this in theaters for its original release in 2018, so I am very glad I got too today. This is my favorite movie ever. Like my personal connection with this film is so strong. Probably stronger than any other media ever. Just might be my favorite thing in fiction. I can recite probably close to the entire film. So many memorable quotes that hit on such a deep level. I really don’t connect with spider man much outside of the spiderverse movies either. But Miles just has something special about him. Something that I just love.

“Look, sometimes... people drift apart, Miles. And I don't want that to happen to us, okay? Look, I know I don't always do what you need me to do or say what you need me to say, but I... I see this... this spark in you, it's amazing, it's why I push you. But it's yours, and whatever you choose to do with it, you'll be great.”

Wasn’t expecting that at all, but I was just having such a great time with this. The new emotions were incredible additions, especially Anxiety. Definitely the standout of the film. The story I really liked too. The last 15 minutes were so real and hit hard. It was just done perfectly. I really could see this finishing in my top 5 of the year by the end. I think it’s that good.
